In
unity of time. For example, a heist film
might include an extended recruitment sequence in which the leader of the gang collects together the conspirators, a robbery sequence, an escape sequence, and so on. Each of these sequences might further contain sub-sequences; for example the robbery sequence might consist of an entry sequence, a safe-cracking sequence, and so on.
The sequence is one of a hierarchy of structural units used to describe the structure of films in varying degrees of granularity. Analysed this way, a film is composed of one or more
shots
(if one is thinking visually) or beats (if one is thinking in narrative terms).
The sequence paradigm of screenwriting was developed by Frank Daniel.
